Michael Nguyen - Occupational Therapist

Michael is an experienced occupational therapist with a background in private practice and community-based work within the NDIS. He has a strong interest in supporting neurodivergent young adults and individuals navigating complex mental health challenges.

Michael’s approach is trauma-informed, neuroaffirming and culturally safe, grounded in each person’s lived experience. He values building genuine therapeutic relationships and works alongside his clients in partnership, recognising the importance of a holistic approach to creating a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Michael prioritises safety and comfort before skill building, ensuring clients feel supported and understood at every stage of therapy. He combines compassion with practical, evidence-informed strategies tailored to each individual’s goals and pace. As part of his practice, Michael also offers occupational therapy assessments to support planning and better understand individual needs.

Outside of work, Michael enjoys staying active through sports like swimming and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, experimenting in the kitchen, watching anime (always open to recommendations!) and spending quality time with loved ones. He believes that staying connected to the activities you love is essential for living a balanced and meaningful life.
